Enhanced computed tomography (CT) and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT. a Enhanced CT horizontal image (arterial phase) shows a pancreatic tail tumor with cystic lesion 46 mm in diameter (arrowhead). b FDG-PET/CT image taken before the first surgery: FDG accumulation with a standardized uptake value (SUV)max of 7.1 is observed in the pancreatic tail tumor. c FDG-PET/CT image taken before the first surgery: FDG accumulation is not observed in the para-aortic lymph node. d FDG-PET/CT image taken before revised chemotherapy regimen: FDG accumulation with a SUVmax of 3.0 is observed in the para-aortic lymph node. e FDG-PET/CT image taken after resection of the metastatic brain tumors: FDG accumulation was not observed in the para-aortic lymph node
